Handwriting is, eventually, a variation of the printed forms where characters are little larger, smaller, angled and deformed than forms. The small changes in handwriting define parameters character to be recognized. Handwritten numeral recognition (HNR) poses significant challenges due deformations other variations. This study proposes new notion HNR on hypothesis that handwritten numerals dis...

This paper casts the problem of point-set alignment via Procrustes analysis into a maximum likelihood framework using the EM algorithm. The aim is to improve the robustness of the Procrustes alignment to noise and clutter. By constructing a Gaussian mixture model over the missing correspondences between individual points, we show how alignment can be realised by applying singular value decompos...

We propose a Generating Search Set method for solving the oblique 1 Procrustes problem. Implementative details, algorithmic choices and theoretical properties of the method are discussed. The results of some numerical experiments are reported.

In this paper, a method to get the best representation of a speech motion from several repetitions is presented. Each repetition is a representation of the same speech captured at different times by sequence of ultrasound images and is composed of a set of 2D spatio-temporal contours. These 2D contours in different repetitions are time aligned first by a shape based Dynamic Programming (DP) met...

Orthodontists and maxillofacial surgeons have always been interested to quantify the influence of orthodontic and/or orthognathic surgery treatment on craniofacial morphology. Historically, superimpositions of cephalometric radiographs have been used to study growth and treatment effects. In recent years advances in 3D imaging techniques have led to their widespread use for setting treatment go...
